Drake Goldeneye on Noah's Lake this afternoon from Noah's Hide. Flew in low from the right and landed alongside the tree covered island out to the far left, the one the egrets roost in. Splashed about then got out onto the island and preened. Presumably summered here, as previously recorded on May 25th.

Also 4 Great White Egrets present on and around the Lake.

I saw it, or one just like it, fly across in front of Noahs Hide on the 13th June so it probably has summered here.
